The directx 9.0b OPK comes from http://oem.microsoft.com

To disable SFC completely, follow the guide here: http://www.MSFN.org/unattended/xp/wfp.htm 'SFCDisable' never works, as Windows Setup will attempt to restore the key back to 'enabled' at the 8min stage. Setup doesn't know 'SFCSetting' so it won't touch it at all. As for DirectX 9.0b, I had that problem once, it didn't appear when I ran setup again. The ISO was never modified at that time.

no, he's replying to bpollinas.

Congrats tris!

lol Famer, you're kidding right? All that for a home system?

Bonkers, it tells you how on the link you pasted earlier. "/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1 MOZILLA=1"

gosh forgot to hyperlink the cdmenu.zip text. With a bit of guesswork its at: http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/Files/aio/cdmenu.zip

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced] "EnableBalloonTips"=dword:00000000

Because its SP2 for .NET Framework 1.0 only. 1.1 is at its latest with no service packs.

well hotfixes.cmd isn't making the PC restart, something else is...

Yep, take out QuietApplyPatch.exe and NDP10_SP_Q321884_En.msp, put them in one of the $OEM$\$1\ folders, and execute QuietApplyPatch.exe

Use a full path: MD C:\MyIcons If you wanted files to be copied over to the WINDOWS directory, put the files in $OEM$\$$\ $$ = WINDOWS $$\System32\ = WINDOWS\System32\ and so on.

bucketbuster, your quotation has to go on the end of Suppress instead of IEXPLORE=1. Other than that, I've no idea! Since beppemito hasn't defined a path, its likely he put his java installation in the Windows\System32\ directory, in which case the installation can be executed from anywhere without needing a path.

It just does. Even Virtual PC has made a difference to some people regarding USB support. (hasn't affected me though) By the way, you don't need that long a list, most components are off by default (IIS for example)

Right, pretty weird. Today I've used Gosh's reducing size of source method CD for the first time, and WU confirms 810217 to be installed. Gism0 - Do you have a [Component] entry such as accessopt=off in winnt.sif? EDIT: Tried out other PCs that didn't have 810217 installed, and WU reports nothing. Looks like MS pulled it off today.

REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\install\SunJVM\j2re14203.exe \"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1\"" extra quotations should be as: \" by the way, your reg entry should be numbered 2 (/V 2) otherwise it will overwrite your java installation entry.

same should apply, without the starting /s /v switches.

It reports as installed (qfecheck) but WU won't have any of it. The only time WU is happy with Q810217 being installed is when the installation is ran at the time the taskbar has loaded.

I'm kind of surprised they've issued this update for Windows XP Workstations that don't have IIS enabled. But then its probably just a safety measure. (See http://www.microsoft.com/technet/treeview/...in/MS03-051.asp under Workaround) By the way, has anyone noticed that Q810271 still shows up on WU even when its installed from either svcpack or GuiRunOnce? Strange one this is.

Yep, this Frontpage Extensions critical update also appeared today on both PCs, a month old patch that MS have decided to list on WU. Will update first page in a sec...

an MS Java VM Removal tool went into beta just recently at Betaplace, might be a while before its final.

2 stars?

There's a 1_4_2_02? The offline windows download installation points me to the 01 release: http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp EDIT: weird, just checked this page and its at 1_4_2_03 now, but the javaupdate check on build 01 says there's no new updates available.

Here's the documentation on it: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/...ide/silent.html (make sure you don't use a space between /v and "/qn like they've outlined in their examples, because it won't work) I've been sprucing up my sun java installation just a few minutes ago, this is what I use to install core java files, and integrate into IE: j2re-1_4_2_01-windows-i586.exe /s /v"/qn ADDLOCAL=jrecore IEXPLORER=1" Then the following reg changes: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;Disable Java Update Check on Startup [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "SunJavaUpdateSched"=- ;Hide Tray Icon when Java is used in browser **Version sensitive!** [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\1.4.2_01] "HideSystemTrayIcon"=dword:00000001
